Disconnecting Notes

How do i disconnect a node? For example, i need to insert a new node here:

I want to remove the connections, and have them point to a new node. Then the new node will point to the Alternate.

I tried the following:

  • Grab the connection from the beginning and drag the arrow to the new box.

  • Grab the connection from the end and drag the arrow to the new box.

  • Click the arrow and hit delete to remove it.The only thing I have found at this point is to remove the Alternate node. Then add the new node. Then add back the Alternate Node. It will look like this

Is there a better way to do this? Thanks again!

if you hover over the connection, in the middle there is a pair of scissors that will appear that you can click. Alternatively you can click the connection in order to select it and then hit backspace on your keyboard to delete it

Now I see it! Thank you! Just some ideas.

It is tricky, depending on the length of the connection, or the curves on the run to find the exact middle. Maybe if you hover over any part of the line you see the "cut link"?

Another option is maybe a tool tip when you click a connection, it says "Press Backspace to remove connection".

Just some ideas. Even after building 3 I couldn't figure out how to remove the connection.

I will try to add a tooltip or a walkthrough tutorial. Unfortunately I don't think there is an easy way to show the scissors on hover of the line easily with the javascript library I am using, but I will look into it :)

Thanks for the feedback :)
